Valentine’s Day Felt Heart Pillows
With Valentine's Day approaching, and my new sewing machine just waiting to be used, I decided to make some throw pillows for my couch.

And you don't even have to ... [ Read More ]

Wood Advent Calendar Activity Coins + Free Printable
I am so excited to share these Wood Advent Calendar Activity Coins with you today!!

Thanksgiving Mayflower Ship
As I was browsing through the Pottery Barn Kids catalog a few weeks ago, I fell in love with some little felt ships they were selling for Thanksgiving. Unfortunately they were all sold out, so I had to get creative and make my own! These Mayflower ships would be so cute placed at the kids' table during the Thanksgiving meal, or on each child's plate, filled with crayons or treats to keep the kids busy until dinner is ready. To make these ships, you will ... [ Read More ]
